L'Eveil des Sens – Le Blue Margouillat

Top choice in Réunion


This elegant restaurant inside Le Blue Margouillat hotel is the top-end darling of the west coast. Marc Chappot's creative dishes are artfully prepared and presented, and all provide a burst of flavour. Another draw is the romantic setting: tables are set around the pool or on the colonial-style terrace. A memorable experience.
